An inspired-enough take on a woman's horror, where the fear of losing her other baby becomes a terror itself, as expressed through an excellent performance.
Works most effectively in its subtler, more enigmatic moments than when it indulges in familiar horror film conventions. Nevertheless, it does offer a consistent level of tension, a few decent scares and a terrific lead turn by Christie Burke.
Christensen and co-writer Colin Minihan mostly repeat old beats from suburban supernatural horror films like "Poltergeist" and "Paranormal Activity," but strong actors and lean, unfussy storytelling ought to be more than enough to please genre buffs.
It's a bummer that this simple, effective premise is so quickly burdened with silly mythology and overwrought melodrama.
As far as independent horror films go, Still/Born is one of the better psychological tales that you will find on the market today, although this might not altogether be the case if it wasn't for our leading lady.
Director Brandon Christensen successfully constructs a thriller filled with suspense and intrigue. [Full Review in Spanish]
The closed circuit images worked in the first Paranormal Activity... But these resources are already spent. Or they are not used effectively by this new director named Brandon Christensen. [Full review in Spanish]
A subpar product that recycles elements seen thousands of times without even adding anything new. [Full Review in Spanish]
The lack of depth about the origins of the evil in question and the crude development of its universe make it a disposable antagonist, with the same characteristics as any standard supernatural being. [Full Review in Spanish]
By creating a mystery rooted in more psychological terrors than supernatural ones they create a good atmosphere and some legitimately functional scares. [Full Review in Spanish]
An entertaining horror film.
Still/Born has an interesting premise, but its manufacture and the development of its ideas leave much to be desired. [Full Review in Spanish]
